its not just the tips that are the problem the with krylon, the paint itself has been getting more watery for 12 years. the current paint is just incredibly thin and drippy. when i started writing at the beginning of the 90's krylon was decent. if they would just make paint that was the same quality as 80's or early 90's krylon i would be happy.
who else remembers when krylon was almost the only paint anyone ever used for graffiti? even rusto was a distant second, especially outside of the NYC. rusto had a lot fewer and really shitty valves back then.

they work great. you can use any cap, including grey dots.

i can't believe all the people complaining about the smell of paint. ALL made for graffiti paint smells better than regular old krylon that us old people started painting with. who really cares what it smells like? you should be wearing a respirator anyway. ironlak smells great. it's bizarre that anyone would complain about it.
some of the best paint i have eyes used was industrial paint with benzene that made my eyes and lips burn.

listen to this 10 times and you'll be straight.

i noticed that 6 of the 8 people on this show are from NY, 3 from staten island alone. one is from RI and only one is actually from NJ. the idea that most of these clowns are from jersey is a misconception.

the pigment that fades bad is whatever is in berry pink, krylon burgundy,krylon grape etc. its a certain class of synthetic pigments with different amounts of white or other things mixed in and it always fades. anything that is bright blue-red, purple-red, purple, violet, hot pink etc will fade. every brand does this.

i was bombing a commuter transit line that doubles as a main freight line to one of america's largest ports during the run up to the iraq war. a long train went by with humvees and 155mm artillery guns among other things.

Maybe not where you lived, but certain writers in SF were definitely wearing them in the late 90s.
i guess it depends on how tight you are talking. 1998 indie rock tight vs. 2009 tight. but seriously, what percentage of writers were wearing non baggy pants in 1999? like under 1%? a lot of my friends at the time were indie rock/art kids but i don't think anyone in the graffiti scene in nyc was on that shit at the time. that came later. people have a tendency to claim they "always rocked nothing but skintight purple jeans with limited sb dunks," or "always listened exclusively to underground venezuelan thrash metal." but we all know most of those people are not being entirely truthful.

i was on here when there were no logins, it was just a bulletin board. i guess that was late 1998 into early 1999? i remember there weren't really people from all over the country, it was mostly people from NY, CT and other north eastern states plus FL that were posting here. At that point, the main place for graffiti discussion on the internet was alt.graffiti where i used to lurk.
i was in college in 1999 and was just getting back into graff. i had been heavily involved in graffiti from about 1992-1996 but stopped for a few years to focus on other things.
graff has changed a lot since 1999. at that point, euro paint was just becoming available here. american writers were just starting to do "funk" styles. NYC style throw ups were spreading to other cities. there were bigger regional differences in style, especially between east and west coast. graffiti was spreading to new places but was less trendy than it is now. most writers in the 90's were wiggers who said "yo" a lot, no one wore tight pants.

i love the look of 90's graffiti. too many younger writers have a paint by the number approach to piecing. in the 90's, there were more creative pieces, more playful painting styles, less ironic retro pseudo funky hipster bullshit
-
the problem with these clowns is not that they are toys, it's that they are attention whores. this whole younger generation are attention whores. if the internet existed when i was a toy, i doubt you would have seen stupid videos like this being made. you probably would have seen videos of people doing illegal graffiti, but not people just talking or bombing their driveway. we knew we were toys and would have been embarassed to do stuff like that. i blame it on permissive parenting and self-esteem bullshit.

this guy is just not funny at all. when he got on stern, it became unlistenable(stern has been getting worse since about 1992). seriously, how the hell is this guy a professional comedian? like half my friends are funnier than him.
-
what kind of clown would want to mail order less than 6 cans of paint at a time? how broke are you motherfuckers?

STOP HITTING THAT WALL ON 280 WITH THE BUFF FADE....OLD JEWELS ARE ON THE RISE THERE......
word. wtf is wrong with you kids. almost NO ONE painting in jersey now can do tags half as good as the stuff that's peeking through the buff on that barrier. also kids should lay of the viaduct along mccarter highway in newark. if you do something there, make sure you are not going over a faded kece(rip), epic, 8ball or other old school tags.
-
where i live the internet has made it impossible to keep any spot secret. toys go around and flick every spot near where they live, then they all pm each other on this stupid site or bombing science and ask "where was that pic taken?" so now every chill spot is covered with internet toy garbage. when i started writing in the early 90's, spots where you could paint in the day were often kept secret with only one crew painting there.

I wanted to let you know I've been following your posts, and I appreciate your efforts for keeping me entertained. You are han chinese right? What generation? I bet you live in vancouver too.... You motherfuckers are like robots, every public forum I look at in the past month that has any vague mention of china, the olympics, and the tibet crackdown, you guys spam the board with the exact same text and the exact same images of cnn misidentifying nepalese policemen. Do you guys have secret meetings and shit to plan it all out? A secret handshake?
yeah, i noticed this too.
remember that since the incident in 1989 with the students, the chinese commie government has decided to use nationalism to rally support from the population. traditional chinese culture, like every other culture, is highly chauvinistic and china's psyche is still scarred by the fact that it was once a mighty empire that was then colonized humiliated on the battle field and during the WWII occupation. many chinese have grown up in an environment where they are taught to believe that they are the best people in the world but are always under attack by wicked foreigners. combined with the emphasis on extreme conformity in chinese culture and massive organized espionage activity among chinese expatriates and an you have these endless mindless robotic internet posts that don't actually engage in any real argument.
my personal impression of chinese people is very good by the way. i used to live in a chinese immigrant neighborhood and they are good people. i can't honestly say that about every ethnic group that i've had to deal with. they just have a fucked up government that is manipulating the people for it's own wealth and power. not that much difference that what goes in a lot of other countries including this one.
oh shit, i just realized christo said everything i did but better. should of read the whole thread first.

does anyone remember that this same thing happened on alt.graffiti back in the 90's, about 10 years ago? some guy from germany was going off on the freight scene, then a bunch of US writers posted recent trains they had done and he shut up. that won't happen on here because people are more paranoid now. that was an eye opener for me too though, and im sure other people, i didn't realize that that much stuff was getting done.
by the way stapler, if you look at some new graffiti mags, you'll see a lot more US trains in them now than a few years ago. look some xplicit graffics, subwaynet, day in the lyfe...

there is a big difference between all those other bullshit shows and the first 48. that one is real and shows you a lot about police interrogation tactics. you can see how they trick people into talking by bluffing etc.
CSI and L&O are just terrible shows that only morons watch. i'd rather be dead than have to watch either. incredibly phony and unrealistic.
-
i've seen this and some parts are interesting, especially the technical information and operational procedures of trafficking. but 99% of the people who find this stuff appealing are morons of the lowest order. it's telling what persons from the film people remember: brainless morons who are dead or serving life in prison rather than the smart people who are alive and free.
there is nothing cool about dealing coke.
so many other things are more interesting. even in the topic of drugs. how many of you read books about people like owsley, scully, sand and kemp, who made almost all the LSD in the world during the late 60's and 70's? no uzi massacres involved, but much more interesting stuff to anyone with a three digit IQ.

Cops keeping quotas in NYC
in News
Posted
I'm aware of one state where the police union actually filed a lawsuit against the municipal governments to stop having ticket writing quotas included in their performance reviews.
